GMail mailing list fail

Google has the image of a hacker-friendly company, a company that despite its growth still (occasionally) listens to its advanced users. Google is also an active Open Source contributor.

Why oh why, then, does GMail still not have a “reply to list” functionality? It’s beenrequestedmanytimes, and if it was offered as a Google Mail Labs feature, it wouldn’t clutter the interface for non-technical people. How do the Google engineers themselves participate in mailing lists, by cutting and pasting between the Cc: and To: fields?
